hibiscus


HIBISCUS The Malaysian national flower is the bunga raya or hibiscus (hibiscus Rosa sinensis). The first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman, chose this as the national flower in 1960. The red colour of the bunga raya represents courage while the five petals symbolize the Rukunegara (the Five Principles of Nationhood). The flower was selected because it grows abundantly in Malaysia.
The national flower of Malaysia is the ' hibiscus' in English. In Malay, (their language) it is called 'bunga raya.'
